When we brought negro home we tried a bunch of names, none of them worked, we called her a low down no good uppity negro dog and she came right over. It's only safe to assume she had that name Negro before we brought her home. Now her name isn't supposed to be Negra because she isn't named Negro because her hair is black, she is named Negro because she is a negro so it's a noun not an adjective IE "hey negro what's up?" or "what's up my negro?". Surprisingly enough we actually haven't gotten any death threats or anything of the sort over the name. I'm thinking about getting an asian dog and naming it gook face. We'll see how that blows over.

Till next time
